About Us
Psych Care Uganda is a youth-led organization registered in Mayuge district dedicated to addressing the holistic well-being of adolescents in underserved communities by focusing on mental health, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and career guidance but MENTAL HEALTH as the core program. Through our comprehensive programs, we aim to equip adolescents with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to navigate life's challenges and build a successful future.
Why we do our work?
-
Half of all mental health conditions start by 14 years of age, but most cases are undetected and untreated.
​
-
Mental well-being is central to adolescent health and development, and is impacted by a range of complex family, cultural, societal, economic and environmental factors that put the mental health of young people at elevated risk.
​
-
Mental well-being among adolescents predicts a range of risk behaviors, including self-harm, tobacco and alcohol use, drug misuse, risky sexual behaviors, and violence - the effects of which persist throughout the life course.
​
-
Mental well-being impacts the capacity of young people to learn, participate, and be productive members of society and given the adolescent burden of disease and disability caused by poor mental health and the impact of mental well-being on the survival, growth and development of young people, this is why it’s a priority area of action for Psych Care Uganda.
